ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL
THIS PAST WEEKEND 08-23-08 AND 08-24-08. THE ANALOG DASH CLUSTER WENT OUT ON MY 2004 GMS ENVOY. WHEN IT WENT OUT I MEAN COMPLETELY OUT NO TACH, SPEED OR AND OR THE GAUGES WORKED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP RIGHT AWAY. IT WAS CHECKED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE DASH CLUSTER WAS NOT GETTING ANY POWER. THIS CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE REASON BEING IF IT WHERE TO HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT DID TO ME. IT COULD BE A CONTRIBUTING FACTOR IN AN ACCIDENT. NOT KNOW HOW FAST ONE IS GOING CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS. THERE IS A NEW DASH CLUSTER ON ORDER WHICH SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY WEDNESDAY 08-27-08. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES
I PURCHASED A 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV PREOWNED IN 2005 STILL UNDER WARRANTY. IT BEGAN DIMMING THE LIGHTS IN THE DASH BOARD AND AT THE RADIO AREA, I TOOK IT IN TO GMC FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION MY CAR WOULD GET LOUDER UNDERNEATH THE HOOD IF I SAT IDLING FOR A FEW MINUTES IN A DRIVE THROUGH FOR EXAMPLE, I TOOK IT IN ONCE AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. NOW MY ODOMETER WORKS OFF AND ON AS DOES MY OIL GAUGE. NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS OUT I WOULD HAVE TO FOOT THE BILL TO A FEW PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE POINTED OUT TO THE GMC DEALER SHIP ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION. I HAVE EVEN GONE AS FAR AS TO ASK IF THERE WERE ANY RECALLS AND WAS TOLD NO THERE WERE NOT. AT ONE POINT MY MIDDLE WINDOW FELL DOWN WHILE I WAS DRIVING I TOOK IT TO GMC TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REGULATOR, INSURANCE DID NOT COVER THIS AND THE WARRANTY HAD RUN OUT. APPROXIMATELY 2-3 WEEKS LATER MY BACK WINDOW WOULD NOT GO UP OR DOWN THEREFORE THE TAILGATE WOULD NOT OPEN, BACK TO GMC I WENT AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REGULATOR ONCE AGAIN, AT THIS POINT I ASKED AGAIN ABOUT RECALLS AND WHY BOTH REGULATORS WOULD GO BAD WITHIN WEEKS OF ONE ANOTHER, I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COINCIDENCE. JUST AS RECENT AS JULY 24 MY POWER LOCKS BEGAN LOCKING AND UNLOCKING ON THERE OWN EVEN WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE STREET. I HAD THE BATTERY CHECKED AND IT ALL CHECKED OUT FINE. AT THIS POINT I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND GMC TO ANYONE OR BUY ANOTHER! HELP *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
ERRATIC SPEEDOMETER ON 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV SHOWS VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM ZERO TO 120+ MPH WHILE DRIVING AT NORMAL ROAD SPEEDS. NEED TO USE TACHOMETER TO DETERMINE APPROXIMATE SPEED OF VEHICLE (2000 RPM = 65 MPH FOR THIS VEHICLE). WHEN IGNITION IS TURNED OFF THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE DOES NOT ALWAYS RETURN TO ZERO, THE SPEEDOMETER NEEDLE ALSO SHUTTERS A LITTLE INTERMITTENTLY WHEN REDUCING SPEED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AFTER GETTING AN OIL CHANGE THE TECHNICIAN WENT TO PULL THE CAR OUT OF THE BAY AND THE CAR JUST DIED. IT APPEARED FIRST THAT THE BATTERY MAY HAVE DIED. THERE WAS NO POWER AT ALL. NEXT AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR A MINUTE WE ATTEMPTED TO TURN ON THE IGNITION AND ALL THE GAUGES WENT CRAZY, REGISTERING AS IF I WAS DRIVING. THEN AS IN THE ANOTHER COMPLAINT, UPON ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, ALL THE DASH BOARD WARNING LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNAL INDICATORS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ALL THE GAUGES STARTED ACTING ERRATICALLY AND ALL THE NEEDLE INDICATORS STARTED JUMPING AT RANDOM. THE NEXT TIME I TRIED TO START THE VEHICLE AGAIN THE VEHICLE DID THE VERY SAME THING AS MENTIONED ABOVE (GAUGES ACTING ERRATICALLY, ETC.). I ATTEMPTED TO START THE VEHICLE SEVERAL MORE TIME EACH TIME WITH THE SAME RESULT. PRIOR TO THIS EXPERIENCE THE OIL GAUGE HAD STOP REGISTERING AND HAD MALFUNCTION ABOUT ONE YEAR EARLIER. AFTER MY FAVORITE MECHANIC CAME TO RESCUE ME HOT WIRED THE FUSE BOX TO ALLOW FOR ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME. HE SAID THAT THE FUSES WERE NOT GETTING THE 12 VOLTS NEED TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE. I'M NOW WAITING ON THE DIAGNOSIS. *TR
